Appliance repair at home in Mechelen and Vilvoorde
A washing machine that won’t drain or a fridge that has stopped cooling, and the whole household is thrown off: the laundry piles up and you wonder what a repair is going to cost. In Mechelen and throughout the Rivierenland, from Willebroek, Duffel and Lier to Bonheiden, Heist-op-den-Berg and Keerbergen, a technician comes to your home. Vilvoorde and the surrounding area, including Zemst, Kampenhout and Steenokkerzeel, are also served from the Mechelen region.
You know where you stand in advance: the technician finds the cause at your home (€69), and if the appliance can be repaired you pay €179 in total at most, however long it takes. If you decide not to repair, you only pay the €69. A repair usually costs a fraction of a new appliance, and a good appliance stays out of the landfill.

Washing machine and dishwasher repair in Mechelen
Washing machines and dishwashers are the appliances we are called out for most often in and around Mechelen. These are the questions we hear most, with what you can check yourself.
Why does water stay in my washing machine?
If the machine won’t drain, something is usually stuck in the lint filter or the drain pump, or the drain hose is kinked. Coins, buttons and hairpins are the usual culprits. It can often be solved without new parts. If the pump no longer turns, it has to be replaced.
Why is my washing no longer washed hot?
If the door stays cold during a 60-degree wash and the laundry smells musty, the machine isn’t heating. Usually the heating element has failed, or the temperature sensor that controls it. Sometimes the circuit breaker trips as well. More on washing machine not heating.
Why won’t my dishwasher drain?
Usually the filter at the bottom is full of food scraps, or the drain pump is blocked by a shard of glass or a fruit sticker. First take out the filter and rinse it under the tap. If the water stays, the pump needs to be checked.
Why isn’t my dishwasher heating up?
If the dishes are cold at the end of the programme and grease stays on the plates, the dishwasher isn’t heating. It is usually the heating element, which on many modern machines sits in the circulation pump, or the temperature sensor. More on dishwasher not heating.
All faults and error codes by brand are on washing machine repair and dishwasher repair.
Tumble dryer and fridge repair in Mechelen
A tumble dryer that no longer dries or a fridge that no longer cools: for those too, the technician comes to your home. These are the faults we see most often.
Why won’t my tumble dryer dry any more?
On a heat pump dryer the condenser is almost always the cause. Lint clogs the fins, the air can’t get through and the laundry stays damp. Clean the lint filter after every cycle and the plinth filter every month. If the laundry stays damp, you need a technician.
Why has the drum of my tumble dryer stopped turning?
If you hear the motor but the drum stands still, the drive belt has usually snapped or come off the pulley. If you hear nothing, the door switch or the motor may be faulty. A new belt is a common and quick repair.
Why has my fridge stopped cooling?
When a fridge stops cooling, it is often the fan of the no-frost system, an iced-up evaporator or the thermostat. First check that the door seals still close properly and that the back isn’t pushed right up against the wall.
Can you top up the refrigerant gas in my fridge?
No. We don’t repair refrigeration faults: no leak in the cooling circuit, no faulty compressor, and so no regassing either. The leak is usually in the foam insulation of the back wall and can’t be reached, and the full job costs more than the appliance is worth. If the technician finds this on site, you only pay the €69 diagnosis.
All faults and error codes by brand are on tumble dryer repair and fridge repair.
All brands, in Mechelen too
Our technicians work on the same brands every day and know the error codes of those appliances. We are an independent repair service, not an official service partner of any brand. For you, that mainly means shorter waiting times and a price you know in advance.
We also repair Bosch, Samsung, Whirlpool, Beko, Zanussi, Atag, Electrolux, Bauknecht and Smeg appliances at home in Mechelen. Give the brand and model number when you book, so the technician brings the right parts.
